Armageddon Imagery

by JimWood in

hey, can anyone get me a great armageddon image?

-- i seem to have lost my paradise brochure and i need one for a philosophy project tomorrow.

i know danny haszard usually drops the one into his posts, the one with the woman falling into the crevice, does anyone else have the ability to find or put it on here for my use?

TheKings

yup...i grew up looking at that shit.

absolutely deplorable.

The Impact of this Discussion Board in your Present Life

by The wanderer in

jw

the impact of this discussion board in your present life from time to time that question comes into my heart .

and mind.

all of the information and research that .

TheKings

1.) What if this discussion board did not exist?

there is courage in numbers. without this board there would be far more solitary sufferers.

2.) What if there was no real way to know that
what you were feeling was right or wrong?

i would continue my life without the organisation only with the thought in the back of my mind that they are right and i would just die in armageddon. i always thought that if the bible was true the wbts was true and they were the only ones who knew the bible. it seriously kept me from moving on.

3.) In other words, how important has this
discussion board been, and what sort
of an impact has it had on your life?

it's a godsend, if ever there was one. i've got a headache right now from reading too much, but i can't seem to concentrate on anything else.

Disfellowshipping

by vanillamocha in

i was recently in court for the domestic violence charges against my former (and still in excellent standing) spouse.

he is using all jws to say how he is such a wonderful person, etc - all total and complete lies as some of them are actual eyewitnesses to my abuse.

in his sworn statement, he says that jws do not disfellowship, do not shun, and that i am not disfellowshipped, but that all my "friends" won't talk to me because it is their choice.

TheKings

it could be easily be disproven using their literature on the subject. if you can disprove one lie the rest may well fall like dominoes. concentrate on one at a time.

Heard at last Sunday talk...

by Justice-One in

i almost had to sneeze and scream bullshit when i heard this.

the brother giving the talk said that the society has never made a prediction about when the end would come.

he said people just read what the society published, and added their own thoughts to it!!!

TheKings

think about it ...how many older jw's there knew it was BS?

i'm sure they are made of stronger stuff than that. they can never forget what they learned, anyway.

Question: Demons

by ladybug25 in

growing up, i remember hearing stories from my own parents and others in the congregation about experiences with demons.

sister x wore a t-shirt that she purchased at a second hand store and the demons attached themselves to the shirt and gave her problems.

certain movies and/or cds would give a family problems.

TheKings

BUT...i think my experience was rather unique at the kingdom because no one said it was demons, they all tried to understand that i was just sick in the head , which i was. i'm still at odds on what to believe happened those few days. i know the brain is capable of anything under enough stress, and it was the stress of trying to conform to their beliefs that started me down that road of self-destruction.

it's like a bad dream...all of it.

i've had 3 other experiences...2 good, one bad ... so i'm holding out that there is something out there, but i try not to think about it too much- that's when it becomes a problem :p

i think we can come to the agreement that a jw is eager to correlate any odd happening to something demonic, without saying that it is either possible or impossible...?

Ever wonder why so many inactive ones never actually become ex-jws

by done4good in

jw

i have been considering this often lately, as i know many who have for all intents and purposes, left the organization, yet they still believe it is the truth.

i know when i left, it wasn't long before i had to really investigate for myself, (after a matter of about three months of just taking a "breather"), weather or not what jws taught was actually the "truth".

i think, this was because i realized that something other than just my own weakness had to be what made me "give up".

TheKings

it's a really good day when you can get them to tell you that *you're* the one twisting things around all hot under the collar.

WT monitors sites?

by Gordy in

jw
friends

there was a post on the other day someone was asking about whether the wt monitors websites such as this and other "apostate" sites.. unfortunately i couldn't find it to add this to it.

i remembered a jw who worked on installing computers at london bethel, some time ago telling me that the wt did monitor websites.

this jw is gradually fading away from being one, so can't say to much about him.

TheKings

i think it's unlikely as well, but if they find out your ISP and your IP they can alert the ISP via a phone call that you are harrasing their organisation blah blah blah...and get you shut down.

i've been told to do the same thing when i was stalked online...find out their isp and make a call.

it's plausible, but, again, unlikely.
